OVERLAND prep for Mozambique - JABARI gets upgraded - Lost in Moz Episode 1

Our preparations are under way for Lost in Mozambique! A lot of people have asked how we prepare for a big trip, so we take you behind the scenes in this episode!
Expect a whole lot of overlanding upgrades for Jabari, both sponsored and DIY, packing, planning and a little farewell party of course!
I hope you all enjoy the episode, well except Front Runner which will probably complain, but they should wait for the main episode before really getting upset! haha

[@arseniosapatinha2030]

You guys are more than welcome to our beautiful country... I hope you enjoy your trip and adventure around here. Can't wait to see. ....

[@LostinAfrica]

Thank you!!

[@AmineBkd]

What great built! I've literally watched almost evrything on your channel as I am planning to copy paste to my Fortuner as well!... preparing for my trip from Ethiopia all the way to SA in a couple of months! Hope to see you somewhere along the road :)

[@hendribeukes]

Now my heart smiles bigtime! Missed you guys... Thanks, Tim, you made my day! Can't wait to see more... Great DIY job on the stoppers btw... and your wooden carpet-covered storage looks nice and sturdy, and awesome for camera gear. Jabari looks great, sorry for your awning though. Blessings, Have Fun, & Please Stay Safe.

[@LostinAfrica]

Ah glad to make you happy Hendri!

[@kobusburnett1416]

Another awesome video, thanks Tim. This is what I like to see as someone that would want to also do some overlanding one day.

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it and found it useful! I must still do a full rig walk around sometime, will just have to find some new mods to add! Haha

[@TheSafariExpert]

Flip, guys! ENJOY!!! And travel safely...

[@LostinAfrica]

Thank you!!

[@4WheelingSA]

Well done Tim!👍

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks Henk!

Thanks Jordan!

[@paulfisher1160]

Hi There, Very very awesome guys. Loving it and picking up some ideas haha. I dream of a rooftop tent like that. Hope to see you both sometime on the road and hopefully meet up. Have an awesome trip and an amazing experience. Waiting for the next video. Travel safe regards, Paul

[@LostinAfrica]

Hi Paul, it really is such a great tent! It’s basically erased set up from my mind! Just need to figure out how to get the awning back on without sacrificing the table that’s under the rack! I think I have a plan though!

[@paulfisher1160]

@@LostinAfrica Ah man thats fantastic. Shout if you want to bounce ideas or help customizing. Tent is now on that bucket list, along with the many trips i want to do.

[@LostinAfrica]

@@paulfisher1160 haha I’m not sure the trip bucket list ever gets completed, cause you just end up wanting to go back to places!

[@paulfisher1160]

@@LostinAfrica hahaha agreed

[@my_return_tickets]

I loved seeing this different approach to your KZbin videos as this way we get to see ‘behind’ the scenes. I wish you both the best on your adventure and I am sure the new improved Jabari is going to keep you safe on your travels! Well done Tim and Bianca on another jam packed video.

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! It was something different, but felt it was an important part of the story that needed telling! :)

[@wtrlan]

Hey Tim and B, it's been great to watch how you have prepped your vehicle and I know the pain since I have recently gone through something similar. It is however really rewarding when you do some of the builds and installations yourself. Wishing you both firstly a very safe adventure, but also hope an incredibly exciting and rewarding one too. Look forward to this series with anticipation. All the best!!

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks so much Lance, we appreciate the support! It's so rewarding doing some of it ourselves, and at least we have some clue what to do if it goes wrong!

[@robertsimpson8791]

Think the new vinyl badges look great, subtle but effective, tone in perfectly with the colour of the vehicle. All the best from Northern Ireland

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks Robert! We’re very happy as well!

[@EdwardBath]

Jabari is looking mean!!! Awesome stuff brother! As you know I’ve experienced similar problems so not sure I will be back there either

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks bud!

[@marioesteves3219]

Cant wait!!! Enjoy your travels in my birth country. Its truly beautiful!

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks Mario, it really is such an incredible place, and so few South Africans know that, so hopefully we can raise some awareness!

[@Vyghelani]

Hectic preps ! ! ! Well thought and planned tho ....

[@LostinAfrica]

Yeah thanks, these big missions across Africa need a lot of planning!

[@kimsales8613]

What fun !!!!!

[@LostinAfrica]

Literally the 'bakkie' 6 year old tim would have designed! haha!

[@katrinhansen7916]

Super badass man what a beast.

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks Kat!! Maybe drive her all the way to Berlin if they ever allow it again!

[@OpiumZA]

Can't wait to see the new series!

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks mully, second leg coming soooooon!

[@xamaraaweshow6797]

Really i enjoyed this video 📹👌

[@LostinAfrica]

Thanks Daadir!

[@RexModernNomad]

Hi Tim, love watching your videos. Jabri looks Great, if time allows would like to see walk through of Jabari, i was browsing through your video.. to see what are the addition you have done on Jabri. other than preparation of Mozambique and Front Bummer installation. Best wished for your travels, looking for another awesome series.... StaySafe.

[@LostinAfrica]

Hi Rex, thank you! I’ve been meaning to make one, I just keep waiting for that one more thing I’m waiting for to be installed haha, but that might never end, so I must just do it now!

[@yusufakoodi6627]

Hi Tim,great video as always!I just wanted to find out what spray paint have you been using to dechrome the front and rear badging?

[@LostinAfrica]

Hi Yusuf, thank you! I’m not sure on the brand it’s an all purpose one with a primer built in. I’ll check for you next time I’m in JhB.

[@bundubeard]

What is your route looking like?

[@LostinAfrica]

So we’ve already done a month in the south (south of Maputo), just catching up on the editing and doing some work in Tanzania, then the plan is to work our way up the coast and occasionally inland at the national parks, until we reach the Zambezi, and then follow it inland to Mana Pools. Our plans are always very loose though, so that we can adapt to changes! What are your thoughts on that route?

[@bundubeard]

@@LostinAfrica going to be Epic! Remember to drop me a mail if you'd like to stop off in Pomene! Pity you guys left already, could have sorted you out with some eco-friendly/travel friendly toiletries and such!

[@wernerstruebing116]

Tim, why do you wear a mask in your car or in the open? The sound is not good as without. Looking forward to the videos to come.

[@LostinAfrica]

Hey Werner, these were filmed a while ago when mask regulations were still really strict, and sometimes i just forget to take it off. Apologies for the bad audio, and thank you for the support!

[@shaunmoller2997]

Lekke Tim en Bianca enjoy gaan groot kan nie wag vir julle epic journey nie

[@LostinAfrica]

Dankie Shaun!

[@markusdippenaar2762]

It is a pitty that off-road accessories are extremely expensive unnecessary and to top that damaged vehicles due to bad installation is bad , but spoiled trips due to carelessness of installers is the worst.

[@LostinAfrica]

I may disagree on the unnecessary part, other than the blacked out grill I don’t think anything I’ve done to Jabari is not functional, but agree with the rest unfortunately!

[@markusdippenaar2762]

@@LostinAfrica ek bedoel die duur pryse van die parte is onnodig want n lang lys overlanding produkte word in suid afrika gemaak en wèreld gestuur vir verkoop maar ons in suid afrika betaal gelykstaande in dien nie meer as US pryse

Edit out the mask scenes
